After wowing more than 500,000 people across the country in 2007 and 2008 with stunning ice performances, Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean will embark on a third live UK tour of Dancing on Ice which starts on Thursday 2 April 2009 in Sheffield. 

This tour will celebrate the 25th anniversary of skating legends Torvill & Dean's Olympic Gold medal win for their stunning Bolero routine at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 1984. They will lead an all-star celebrity line up, soon to be announced.

All of the celebrities will be trained and choreographed by Torvill & Dean, who will also perform several of their favourite routines at each performance.  Olympic gold medal winner Robin Cousins will lead the panel of rink-side judges who will critique their performances.

The four-week UK tour will travel to arenas in Sheffield, Nottingham, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham.  At each performance the audience will have a chance to vote for their favourite skating celebrity.  Replicating the format of the hit ITV1 show, they will be able to use their mobile phones to text vote for their favourite dancing couple. The audience votes will then be added to the scores from the Judges to decide the winner.  Once the votes have been counted, the winning celebrity will join their skating partner to perform a magical finale. As with the previous tours, all profits from text voting will go to charity, more than £45,000 has been raised to date.

Donal MacIntyre has announced that he will perform exclusively at the eight Wembley Arena shows over the Easter weekend on the 2009 UK tour. Also, as a treat on the Easter Monday show at the Wembley Arena, there will be an appearance by the Oxford Freestylers, the winners of this year's Ice Star competition. The Oxford Freestylers will be performing at both shows on Easter Monday, 13 April.
